00:00A huge Saturday night in CU. A lot of people bet the buffs this year because of the Deion

00:09Sanders notoriety to win the Big 12. A lot of public attention into Colorado. A heavy

00:15betting handle and liability for the books for Colorado to win the Big 12. But a team

00:20with a 5.5 win total entering the year who was 4-8 last year didn't seem realistic. It

00:26is now. Colorado is 4-1. 18th ranked K-State is 4-1. But the buffs are the unbeaten side

00:33of Big 12 play off to a 2-0 start. A home underdog tonight in Boulder. How do you see

00:39it playing out? So I can only look Kansas State in this game here at 3-1. I am a believer

00:46in Kansas State, which I was not preseason. I have really liked what I have seen from

00:50them. I do believe the game against BYU was a little bit flukier. But I am not going to

00:56lay this number here on the road against Colorado because the buffs performance against UCF,

01:01you don't want to, you never want to try and buy high. That is by far the best thing they

01:06have done under Deion. Forget the TCU win, that TCU team ended up not being all that

01:11good. That was amazing. I am not trying to downplay it, but the win against UCF is what

01:17is leading us to feel that this is nearly on par with all these ranked, ranked monster

01:24games that the bigger conferences are providing. So while I lean K-State, I back off and put

01:32my action on the guy we key on in Travis Hunter. 95.5, he blows through this. First game all

01:40year he comes off of not having 100 yards. And he landed at 89. It is the first game

01:45in his career that he caught eight or more passes and did not have 100 yards. His receptions

01:51props seven and a half and it is nearly minus 140 towards the over. T.T. McMillan put up

01:56a buck 38 while Noah Fafita only had 268. Tulane and Oklahoma State both sent wide receivers

02:03into the 125 marker. I think Travis Hunter in the biggest game in the Deion time in college

02:12football because this is what he does. He shines Leecey over 95 and a half receiving

02:17yards. I do not like this game from the gambling perspective. A couple of factors. I lean K-State

02:23to your point because I think they are a little bit more physical, but I am a little concerned

02:27in regards to the last two road performances. The first road game was Tulane. They were

02:33a double digit favorite. They should have lost that game, but they steal it by seven

02:37points. They then go on the road to Provo. They get absolutely boat raced by BYU in regards

02:44to that matchup. Completely look like a deer in the headlights. You believe that Kansas

02:49State is the more physical team, right? And that is why I like UCF because I thought they

02:53were able to establish the line of scrimmage, run the football, a mobile quarterback in

02:58K.J. Jefferson, and that is where I feel K-State has the advantage with Avery Johnson. But

03:04again, Kevin's right. If they start fast tempo wise where they're throwing over the

03:09top and the offensive line is protecting Shador, then this could be a long day for K-State

03:14because they are not built in regards to the passing attack to throw from behind. And that

03:19is the concern for me. They haven't played since 2010. Lean Kansas State, but I don't

03:25love it.
